Badosa withdrew from the Australian Open with an abductor injury.
She withdrew from the French Open with a stress fracture in her back.
Badosa had to retire in the second round of Wimbledon because of that injury.
When she announced that she could not play the US Open or the rest of the year, Badosa talked about the persistent pain that she is experiencing that is making it difficult for her to train.
Badosa was expected to play an intriguing first-round match in New York against Venus Williams.
She will be replaced by qualifier Greet Minnen.
Though her tennis life has been difficult and disappointing in 2023, Badosa has found personal happiness in a much-publicized relationship with Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Their romance reportedly began in 2023 at Indian Wells.
Tsitsidosa, as they are affectionately called, did publicity together for the US Open.

Badosa will be in his box cheering for him as he begins his quest for a maiden Grand Slam.
Tsitsipas is ranked seventh in the world and has a 40-15 record in 2023.
He has a challenging first-round match against Canadian Milos Raonic.
Tsitsipas won the Mifel Tennis Open in Los Cabos, Mexico earlier this month, his 10th career ATP title and the first on hardcourt.
